Notes for the St. Louis Blues who are advancing to the Stanley Cup Final
NHL Public Relations: The St. Louis Blues are in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in 49 years. They were in last place on January 2nd.
NHL Publis Relations: The Blues are the first team in the expansion era (1967-68) to make the Stanley Cup Final to be in last place at any point during the season with at least 20 games played.
John Shannon: “Just last season, Blues’ farmhand Jordan Binnington refused an assignment to the ECHL…and Doug Armstrong struck a deal with Don Sweeney for the Goaltender to play for the Bruins’ AHL team in Providence…my how things change in 12 months.”
Jordan Binnington became the fifth rookie netminder in NHL history, and first in 32 years, to be responsible for each of his team’s first 12 wins in a playoff year. #NHLStats #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/zOyUXEA3iL
